Cell Sensor EMF Detection Meter

This is sort of "lacking in real quality" but what do you expect for $25? So, the fact that it works, though you do it with no real idea of any sort of accuracy of any kind, and it does the basic function, that of telling you "Hey, you have a lot of leakage power here!" --- it does that well.Example: I took it down to my newer GE over-the-stove micro wave oven. From the very front, it was not too bad, but from the sides, and top/bottom, it went ballistic and set off the lights and buzzer. TI'm afraid that this is sort of typical from all of society and electronics manufacturers. (A lot of money rides on this stuff!) On my older later 1980's vintage Ammana Radar Range? Almost zero leakage and detectable output. Our standards are so lax these later years that almost anything goes and THAT is probably not good for our bodies. No radiation in general is good for you when it is large enough that it causes currents to flow through you on a cellular level inside you body...... it is a cumulative thing - and some folks are MUCH more suseptable to it than others so the people who set the standard are hard put to set a point of safety: safe for me may be unsafe for you. Think of this: after 15 or 20 years of such high levels of exposure..... what shape will you be in? The associations have not been PROVEN yet because it takes so much time, but cancer and tumors are the primary concerns, in general, right now...... the big Questions are, "How much is too much and for how long?" No one absolutely knows this yet. (It could a bit like, "We always suspected that cancer & cigaretts went together!")We all know already that cell phones output a LOT of radiation..... the further from the cell tower you are located when you talk, the higher the cell outputs it's signal strength to get the connection working well, and.... the greater the risk to your body and brain cells. We all already KNOW this fact, we do NOT NEED a meter to tell us this as new information..... and this device will not really give you a real good idea of how much you are getting exactly anyway. However, what it will do, is that it will tell you when you need to get further away from some radiating appliance, phone, TV, microwave oven, or such.... to some degree anyway. What makes this a good deal? As opposed to spending 5 times as much (or more) for a "Tri-Meter" is that it gives you a general idea with more ability to tell one level from another. It does not cost you $150 to find out what you already knew intuitively anyway. (humor intended here)If you want real quality, do not mind paying for a higher level of precision and accuracy, you can do as I did and buy something like the ExTech 480836...... aaaand you will spend basically $250 too. It is NICE! Has some real good quality in it equal to many of the good quality multi-meters you can get, and it is also tri-mode ops which is a plus compared to a single mode like this one.So, I use this to give rough estimates in ultra-low frequency applications only, and it has a rather short close range limited ability too. But for $25 what more could you ask for? The small probe is a nice conventient added plus for it as well. Enjoy!

I give this device four stars based on the following:- easy to use- identifies EMF levels accurately and consistently- has both audible and visual alerting- very good documentationAfter locating and identifying the hot spots in my home I was able to make the adjustments to my furniture placement to limit my exposure to harmful EMF. I also researched and purchased excellent EMF blocking fabric fromI'm a type B person and it took me the longest time to decide to try this "toy" looking device. Save your money on buying those cool 3-axis more costly models if you don't need to. The cell sensor works great!By the way, if your cell phone doesn't make the thing go off, then you've got a good phone! I tested three cell phones and only one set it off!

Highly recommended EMF Meter. Simple to use and works great at recognizing problem spots. Microwaves give off EMF's even when off, it's a good thing to stay 5 feet away from them. I was able to fix an EMF source around my computer. The EMF's were coming from the wires near my feet. So I plugged a power adapter further away on another plug and that fixed that problem. I would have never known about that EMF problem.I like the way this unit beeps and flashes a light when the EMF is too high. The power button looks very sturdy, the unit is light weight but this is a good thing. If you need an EMF meter that is easy to use and low priced, I say buy this one.

Update:This is a Great meter if you want to be fooled into thinking you are EMF free-It doesn't pick accurately up Many sources (or Not at all!)- Cell Phones, cordless 900mhz... phones, computers...!I read other negative reviews & bought the MUCH more sensitive Trifield 100 XE- Boy was I in for a shock (Ignorance is bliss!?)!Trifield 100XE EMF Meter~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Original Review:I wanted an inexpensive/ HIGHLY SENSITIVE EMF detector, and this is it!It is more sensitive on than other detectors costing $3x (.1)!This unit is well made (sorry that the 1 negative reviewer was probably bummed out at not finding a ghost...!), and 3.5' cord makes scanning EASY!Sturdy enough for a contractor..., with TLC!The other positive reviewers pretty well covered the features...I'll post some of MY test results-Best on High, and results WILL vary by brand...!-- Found 1 improperly grounded 120v outlet= 4' before, and 2" after fixed.- House fuse panel was VERY HOT!= 6'+, and I'm glad it's WAY out in the garage! Walls don't stop EMF's!- Outlets/light switches= 2" before use, and all outlets on circuit are 3' if in use (outlets after used are 2")!- Microwave oven (vary by brand...)= 6'- Cell phone (I use mine infrequently )= 2" (HOT) at speaker "FRONT" ONLY! Same on or off, and I'll carry mine facing OUT (Experts say to limit calls to 10min, no kids (thin skulls/ growing brains...!)! Wish mine had a speaker phone!HMMM?- Tony Snow, and Ted Kennedy both died of brain cancer/tumors!? Wonder which side of their head?- ALL digital clocks- Large face= 3', and small = 1' !- Desktop computer tower= 2' (low), and flat panel monitor= 6".- Laptop computer= Very low, but modem/router was 2'!- My Older 900mhz cordless phones/base station= Zero, on or off! :o)2.4ghz+ cordless phones are supposedly VERY HOT(same frequency as microwave oven!)!- TV's- Older tube type= 4', and 46" flat panel LCD/digital= 1'.- Light bulbs- Filament= 6", and Fluorescent= 1".It is a relief knowing..., and kinda fun!Buy one & see (no, I don't own stock... in the company)!Scott :o)
